  • Switch to a Fully free Operating System

  • Bruh is your CPU even source available?

    The only option for true transparency is to build it from scratch, like at the logic gate level.

    Those distros have ethical and legal value but they don't magically make you better off.

  • Violence is a central tenet of the hard right and has always been.

  • I wanted a 3rd party, just not like this.

  • Confession: I don't know what passwords in Linux are for

    Jump

  • Fyi UAC is not strong protection . Also, it really doesn't matter if you have a password or not, UAC works the same way.

    SELinux or other MAC systems (AppArmour?) are complicated but can protect a Linux system in a way similar to the UAC prompts on Windows, although its not convenient at all.

    Maybe someone has a gui to make it easy, but I've never used it.

    I think you may be happy with setting a short or empty user password so a sudo popup is basically the same as clicking allow on a UAC prompt

  • Is the FOSS world in danger of a corporate takeover, thanks to pushover licenses?

  • Let's see how this goes then revisit the question.

  • developer of game 'Rust' talks about anticheat on linux

  • Renoise is sweet as far as trackers go.

    Ardour was always my go-to although it's been crashing on me a lot.

    Shout out to BespokeSynth for being amazing, I forgive the crashes because it's so cool and strongly foss.

  • An ethics question

    Jump

  • Resentment is usually a feeling which has little to do with ethics.

    Actions are more easily analyzed for ethical value.

    I guess that you're considering the action of showing resentment by being absent or cold to them.

    From a utilitarian perspective this could serve the purpose of communicating your resentment indirectly which may increase the overall good by preventing this scizsm from infiltrating other parts of your life and others. On the other hand this outcome is not guaranteed.

    If you apply value ethics of your actions it really depends on what ideals you hold yourself to.

    If you take a completely honest person as your ideal, direct communication is probably more ethical than indirect communication, but indirect communication would still be superior to deceiving them into thinking you agree with them in any way.

    Instead, you may idealize an honest pacifist who would value indirect communication higher than direct if direct would also come with conflict.

    These are my thoughts, I am by no means an expert in ethics.

  • Removed Locked

    TIL Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of the World Trade Center, secured insurance coverage for the complex, including terrorism risk, six weeks before the September 11, 2001 attacks.

  • ... Leased them from what entity?

  • Riding in the rain sucks but I'll take it over driving

    Jump

  • ... You're supposed to wash your bike afterwards?

  • Do you guys use AI when programming? If so, how?

    Jump

  • Just intellisense and other language servers. I remember when Microsoft was boasting about how much of their code was generated by intellisense. Now whenever I hear them hype how much ai written code they use I am reminded of it. It's not an llm but is still a type of ai.

  • Can I dual boot windows and Linux?

    Jump

  • Totally possible.

    I recommend making room on your drive using windows tools to shrink the windows partition before letting your Linux installer add new ones, or doing it manually. This is just so that no weird filesystem bugs show up after resizing your ntfs filesystem with Linux tools. Never had a problem with them but it's probably good to use Microsoft tools to mess with the Microsoft filesystem just in case.

  • Microsoft Teams Starts Telling Your Company If You’re Not At Work

  • Lmao any corporate IT department can do this at any time anyways

  • May run a little JavaScript to see if the extension is there or something? I want to try but I don't want to install that software to test

  • Does anyone actually use Gentoo? Why?

    Jump

  • I used to use Gentoo on my laptop, mostly for fun but also because I kept having issues on other distros (Ubuntu mostly) where I wanted to run the latest blender release but my libraries were out of date. On Gentoo I could easily get the most recent builds.

  • What do all you coders actually do?

    Jump

  • I think you need to start a project, accept it will be slow and painful, and don't become an expert before you start, just use the skills you have and see where they take you. The only thing that matters in software is that it works. The definition of working changes over time, but get that first working version and you will keep going.
